Honestly, it's not creepy to be attracted to someone who looks like your mother, even if, like Trish, she's an exact match.

It's creepy to love them -because- of this, or even worse, to treat them as if they were actually your mother, who you have sex with. Like, if Dante was banging Trish and called her Eva all the time, that would be unhealthy.

Frankly, much weirder "who's your daddy" behavior is treated as normal by society, so there you go.

As for Lady, they definitely took the out-of-character moneygrubbingness of Lady from DMC4 and ran with it, as opposed to using the actually fleshed out, not-just-a-bouncing-pair-of-boobs-bursting-out-of-a-barely-there-sweater version of her from DMC3 that actually made her popular.

Honestly, given DMC4 (which still had good parts), the anime, and DmC (and possibly DMC2, really), I'm of the belief that the Capcom producers making the final decisions about the DMC story have no idea why fans like the series. Given what they've done to the MegaMan series (i.e., killing it and then lying about the fans being uninterested), I don't think I even need to qualify that as a "belief".
